Elk Grove Unified gives students the whole week for Thanksgiving, Monday, November 23 through Friday, November 27, 2026. That’s a full five days, not just the Wednesday-to-Friday stretch a lot of districts take. Thanksgiving Day itself is Thursday, November 26. If your family travels or hosts, you don’t have to squeeze everything into a weekend. Classes start up again on Monday, November 30.

Winter break runs from Monday, December 21, 2026, through Monday, January 4, 2027, and students are back on Tuesday, January 5. That’s 11 weekdays off, and both Christmas and New Year’s Day land on a Friday this year. It’s the longest break of the year on the Traditional calendar. Year-round schools follow different dates. The Modified calendar’s break runs through January 11, and Tracks A, C and D have their own. Check your school’s track before you book flights.

Spring break is one week, Monday, March 15 to Friday, March 19, 2027, and school starts again on Monday, March 22. That’s five days off on the Traditional calendar. Students on the Modified calendar get two full weeks, March 15 to 26, so it’s worth checking which one your child is on before you book anything. Great for a short trip, some extra sleep, or finally cleaning out that backpack.

The last day of school on the Traditional calendar is Thursday, May 27, 2027, just before Memorial Day weekend (Memorial Day is Monday, May 31). Track D finishes the same day. The Modified calendar runs until June 11, and Tracks A, B and C go all the way to June 25. So summer can start up to a month apart for different Elk Grove kids. Check your own track so nobody plans a trip too early.
